United States v. Cawthon
District Court, M.D. Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
DAVIS, Chief Judge.
The grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against the defendants, War-, ren Sanders Cawthon, James B. White, and Buel Lanier Trapnell.
Counsel for the defendants White and Trapnell filed on their behalf motions to dismiss the indictment in the case on the grounds of insufficiency. The motions came on for hearing and the Court heard extensive arguments by counsel for both sides.
The first count of the indictment is a conspiracy count and the others are substantive counts. For reasons of convenience and clarity the Court prefers to deal with the substantive counts first.
